Nice hunt Nancy ! Special congrats on the key . In many years of detecting I have only found one old skeleton key and that was in the middle of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco . It's one of my favorite finds .

Thank you Dirt Doctor! When I was going over it with my coil, I knew it had to be something with a bit of length to it, not a coin though. It was deep enough that I wanted to see what it was and to my surprise, it was a big old key. I love it.

I have been at the Golden Gate Park a few times. Never detecting, but on vacation. Congratulations on your old key also. They sure are fun to find.
